Ingthorpe Grange

Ingthorpe Grange is a house dating from 1672, with alterations made in the 19th century. It is built of rubble with a stone slate roof and has two storeys and attics. The front originally comprised three bays, although the plan was deepened in the 19th century to extend the full width. The ground floor features large, four-light, double-chamfered stone mullion windows (dating from the 19th century), while the first floor has smaller mullion windows from the 17th century. A stepped three-light mullion window echoes the gable design at the top of the building, which is finished with a ball finial. A full-height gabled porch is positioned between the second and third bays, featuring a chamfered round-arched doorway, a string course, and a datestone inscribed “B lB H B 1672”. Above the doorway is a triangular panel resembling a pediment with the inscription “John Baldwen birth was 1671”, and an arched, round-headed window. All windows, except for the one in the porch, have hoodmoulds. The original front door has been modified with applied mouldings that create two lozenges and two squares with re-entrant corners. The left-hand gable end has been rebuilt and now supports a 19th-century chimney stack with diagonal shafts. Inside, a notable feature is a fireplace with a basket head and double cyma moulded jambs, where the outer moulding curves around the voussoirs to indicate the extrados. The rest of the interior remains largely unseen but may contain further points of interest.
